Intro
We became the parade on the streets that we once cleaned
Expendable soldiers smiling at anything
Raised on a feeling our lives would have meaning eventually
We were once the answer and then you discover
Youre actually just one thing after another
And what was the question and why was the lesson so deafening?
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but dont stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And outside forces didnt make it easy
So I thought Id go before you leave me
Self-preservation was no explanation for anything
But the truth is more than we ll ever comprehend
Im just starting to understand, my friend
All of that distance, cause I fell in love with the enemy
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but dont stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
Interlude
At last, we meet on no mans land
Just footprints in the sand
We meet on no mans land, at last
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say:
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
One meaning
Just one meaning
